one of the few remaining swing congressional districts new york s 19th went democratic. at least far moment in time, he was a snapshot of america s political mood. a swing district won by obama and then trump and then biden voted to send democrat pat ryan to washington. ryan ran on abortion right. his republican opponent focussed on the economy and crime. and now a midterm election that is just 73 days away and once seemed a fore gone conclusion, a republican takeover of the house and the senate, is much more uncertain. as jonathan weissman pointed out the new york times this week, republicans need just five seats to win the house. and their candidates are in strong positions to win the bulk of nine districts that mr. trump would have won easily two years ago if the new maps had been in place. seven of those nine seats do not have a democratic incumbent to defend them. here is another way to look at it. the nonpartisan cook political report rates 10 democratic seats as lean
